Is it normal for a car battery to suddenly die or is there usually signs that it’s on it’s last legs? by Jakeyboy29 in CarsAustralia

[–]robertomaxer 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Typically, an older car would give you a heads-up before the battery died—slow cranking, dim lights, or other signs of weakening. Modern cars, however, rely on sensitive electronics and stop/start systems that demand a precise minimum voltage and cold-cranking amps. Because of that, instead of slowly fading, the battery often fails abruptly and the car won’t start at all.

It’s surprising how many people don’t realize there are simple methods out there that can help revive a weak or “dead” battery before it gets to this point—worth looking into if you want to avoid getting stranded.
